INTRODUCTION

Theme of the Seminar: ‘SWACHH Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India campaign) is a national campaign by the Government of India, covering 4041 statutory towns, to clean the streets, roads and infrastructure of the country. This campaign was officially launched on 2 October 2014 at Rajghat, New Delhi, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself cleaned the road. It is India's biggest ever cleanliness drive and 3 million government employees and school and college students of India participated in this event. The mission was started by Prime Minister Modi, who nominated nine famous personalities for the campaign, and they took up the challenge and nominated nine more people and so on (like the branching of a tree). It has been carried forward since then with people from all walks of life joining it. This campaign aims to accomplish the vision of a 'Clean India' by 2 October 2019, the 150th birthday of Mahatma Gandhi. It is expected to cost over 62000 crore (US$9.8 billion). Fund sharing between the Central Government and the State Government and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) is 75%:25% (90% : 10% for North Eastern and special category states). The campaign has been described as "beyond politics" and "inspired by patriotism".

Nearly 100 million people in India lack access to safe drinking water and over 700 million continue to defecate in the open. Over 600,000 children under 5 years lose their lives to water and sanitation related diseases like diarrhoea and pneumonia every year. Though we are making efforts in this direction since Gandhi Ji’s call for clean India. There are organizations like Sulabh International with a purpose to provide clean and hygienic defecation place, to innumerable other NGOs, central and state government departments of public health, child care etc. who are working to make the country a better living place. Big campaigns like Narmada Bachaao, Clean Ganga, Clean Yamuna are few other efforts which can be witnessed in this direction. Previous governments have also made attempts in these directions by allocating huge budgets to total sanitation drives, but we still are standing far behind the goal because of the challenges of controlling the usage of hazardous materials and their waste deposition in open and rivers.

With Prime Minister’s appeal to the nation for Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, there has been an overzealous positive sentiment in organizations and individuals both. Many organizations have routed their CSR budgets in this direction. However, if the campaign is to go beyond symbolism and actually achieve the goal of making India open defecation free by 2019, it needs a multi-pronged strategy encompassing sustained involvement of multiple stakeholders, focusing on changing behavior, going beyond toilet construction and fund allocation.
It is an inclusive responsibility of not only the politicians and government officials, but each and every citizen of India. A lot has to be done to achieve this national goal. The present conference is an attempt to give a platform to these NGOs, Central and State Government Departments, Education Institutes, Public and Private Organizations, and various agencies to share their ideas of clean India with respect to Administrative perspectives they are adopting, challenges and issues faced and future roadmap for the success of the campaign.
